Series Sunday: Reflected in You

Series Sunday is a bookish meme hosted by Literary Marie of Precision Reviews. I encourage all of my fellow book bloggers and bookhearts to play along.

My Series Sunday pick is Reflected in You, the second book in the Crossfire trilogy by Sylvia Day. Gideon Cross and Eva Tramell's romance picks up exactly where the first book, Bared to You, left off. Gideon Cross is one of the top twenty-five richest people in the fictional world. Eva Tramell is a new hire in an office located in Cross Industries and Gideon's girlfiend of one month.

This is the most dysfunctional, mucked-up couple ever. But I love them! They are addicted to each others presence, touch, desire and thoughts. Both characters are seriously flawed with troubled pasts. Both characters are sexual abuse survivors; yet their intense passion and jealousy creates a unique romance. What other couple do you know admits to being seriously broken and seeks couples therapy? I'll wait...No one? Didn't think so. This is one of the many reasons why Gideon and Eva belong with each other and no one else.

Gideon and Eva's relationship may not have progressed much, but my opinion sure has. This is not just a Fifty Shades ripoff. It's different. It's addictive in its own way. Their damaged roller coaster romance is erotic, jaw-dropping and mind-boggling. Both of them are complex and remain a mystery to me. The first two books just scratched the surface so I cannot wait for the final book in the Crossfire series, Entwined with You. Hopefully Gideon and Eva have a happy, healthy ending. I recommend this erotic romance series. Give it a try and most likely, you will not put the book down until the last page is turned.
